'''The use of Delay Tolerant Networks in Real Life examples''' ''(Assigned to Pouya Saeedfar)''
 
Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) are a particular family of networks characterized by high, unpredictable node mobility and consequently by the possible lack of a path between source and destination. To counterbalance the numerous drawbacks is the fact that these networks require little or no infrastructure and can act in a completely decentralized way. Many protocols have been proposed in the last 10 years. The student is required to present a general overview of DTN and in particular to investigate how DTN principles are used in hot researched fields, including Internet of Things (IoT), Vehicular Networks (VANETs), Emergency systems, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and pervasive computing.

|'''Understanding Modern Web Service Deployment in EC2 and Azure''' ''(Assigned to Fitria Nilamsari)''
Today, web services are increasingly being deployed in infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) clouds such as Amazon EC2, Windows Azure, and Rackspace. Hence, it is critical to understand the usage patterns and identifies ways in which cloud tenants could better leverage IaaS clouds.

|'''Efficient crowdsourcing for multi-class labeling'''  ''(Assigned to Berker Vardarsuyu)''
Crowdsourcing systems like Amazon's Mechanical Turk have emerged as an effective large-scale human-powered platform for performing tasks in domains such as image classification, data entry, recommendation, and proofreading. Since workers are low-paid (a few cents per task) and tasks performed are monotonous, the answers obtained are noisy and hence unreliable. To obtain reliable estimates, it is essential to utilize appropriate inference algorithms (e.g. Majority voting) coupled with structured redundancy through task assignment.

Net neutrality refers to current state of the internet, where all data should be treated equally, without discrimination of specific flows or entities.

| '''Semantic Matching in Search'''  
| '''Semantic Matching in Search''' ''(Assigned to Yimo Liu)''
Relevance is the most important factor to assure users’ satisfaction in search and the success of a search engine heavily depends on its performance on relevance. It has been observed that most of the dissatisfaction cases in relevance are due to term mismatch between queries and documents (e.g., query “ny times” does not match well with a document only containing “New York Times”), because term matching, i.e., the bag-of-words approach, still functions as the main mechanism of modern search engines.

|'''Kaggle: a platform for making data science a sport''' ''(Assigned to Hari Raghavendar Rao Bandari)''


Kaggle is a website where companies and researchers post their data and prediction problems and data scientists from all over the world compete to produce the best models. The student taking this topic will answer the following questions: what is data scientist? What kinds of skills are owned by data scientist? How do Kaggle competitions work? We hope that the student can not only answer above high level questions, but can tell us some personal experience by engaging one of these competition.
